Hello guys
My chances looks slimmer with each passing day, not called up yet for medical. January 2nd looks very unlikely.... applied since 21 September . Have anyone passed through this situation before? Does anyone have an idea of what to expect? I'm just agitated
I am in your shoes. Let's just hope for the best. The worst that would happen is to resume with the best available batch. The most important thing is to get visa approval. Cheers bro!

It is not true that the Canadian VO give preference to people who gain admission to top schools. I know a friend that gained admission to University of Toronto and was initially denied visa. He had to reapply and repackage his application.
TravelRe: Travelling To Canada Part 11 by unyted(m):
Good observation. It seems the VO give preference to paper application. I did online application. Is it a good idea to send them an email so they could hasten the process? Resumption is Jan 1, and I haven't even been contacted for medical examination. I submitted my application 27th October.

Whenever there is pool there is always a flirt
Whenever there is school there'll always be homework
Whenever there is a beat there is always a drum
Whenever there is fun there is always Coca-Cola

The stars will always shine, the bird will always sing
As long as there is thirst there is always the real thing
Coca-Cola classic always the one
Whenever there is fun, there is always Coca-Cola

Hi Sexyjob!

Let's keep our fingers crossed. Hopefully this week, we will have a clearer direction. I am afraid the wait might be slightly longer for some peeps on waiting list though. All the best!

You are on point bro!
if you think these artistes deserve international recognition, then your music taste must be very poor. Where is the talent to begin with?.

Wizkid doesn't have an international recognition. Having an international recognition doesn't mean recording music abroad, but being so good that you attract the attention of world's best record labels, being so good in your own skin that you get recognized by major international music labels; like sony music entertainment, interscope, virgin music, Tuff gong, Def jam, bad boys music, Arista, e.t.c, and getting signed to recording one or two albums for them.

International recognition doesn't mean proactively begging and paying a popular international act to appear in your or their music videos.

The only Nigerian astiste at the moment who deservely have achieved international recognition is Asa. Tu face would have, but for some of the reasons you listed. I wish I could advise that guy, Tiwa Savage and the other girl- I forgot her name- would do better with good song writers.

The current crop of musicians generally just do what others do. Unlike Fela Anikulapokuti, Majek Fashek, Sunny Ade, e.t.c who created their own thing irrespective of the music fray of their days.

Talking from experience...........

[Great input...straight forward and unbiased. quote author=Iamsynord post=46847434]Note - Doing indigenous music is not an excuse for lack of intl recognition. 9ice was invited to nelson mandela and MOB0 and Yousuf won a grammy with his local songs.. So doing local or indigenous song is never an excuse..



1) Quantity Over Quality - Olamide has made quantity is main goal..Flood the scene with songs and songs till you reach a point of equilibrum and then start to decline...

Olamide has failed to allow the people thirst for his songs and his releases are not up to expectations too...

It gets to a point listeners are no longer gingered to listen to what the artist will say as artist becomes monotous and repititive.

The rapper is even gearing up to release a sixth studio album.

2) Branding - Branding is also very much .... The Kind of brand Olamide potrays is of the not too internationally minded artist. He hardly dresses corporate and potray his versatility in his brand..

He has even gone ahead to Brand himself a Local Rapper. This type of image projected is the way he is addressed..

He has even refused to meet up with more influential managers and more serious minded and music experts ..... The lack of Expertise on the side of the management and consisting of influential managers does bear its mark.


3) Appeal - While deviation from indigenous music is not the point. Appeal is very paramount..... Olamide style is not appealing to the outside world.. Sometimes balancing works.. I wonder if Hausas listen to olamide songs ? But i bet more listen to 9ice ? Why

A little of more mature songs and english lyrics might do the trick....Do something appealing to every one and yet dont forget the minority. You dont waste international features with Wale on songs like papilo you go make us proud....

Give them what they love.. Trap,pop. Feature more of their artistes and seek for international features....


Olamide is a Legend and will remain one... However , breaking into the international market Like Wizkid is not an easy job......

Olamide has too much talent than to be labelled a local rapper... We want to see him topping the billboard chart and copping his own BET award soon too... Enough of the Headies and NEA awards.
